Anime fans call for remake of classic show for 20th anniversary CrunchyrollRemakes are relatively common within anime. Dragon Ball Z Kai and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood are two major examples. Fans are hoping for another classic series to get the treatment \u2014 Soul Eater. Premiering in 2008, Soul Eater was a hit anime show about a school, run by Death, for people with the ability to become supernatural weapons, and those with the talents to use said weapons properly. It\u2019s a slightly odd, very gothic shonen anime that\u2019s incredibly charming if you love morbid cartoons. Based on Atsushi Ohkubo\u2019s manga, Soul Eater\u2019s production still holds up, but a change to the ending in the anime soured the whole project for some fans. Now that we\u2019re coming up on the 20th anniversary of the manga, fans are hopeful for some form of remake. \u201cSoul Eater: Resonance,\u201d says one fan on Reddit. \u201cIt would be my dream come true.\u201d Others agree, but are keeping their hopes in check: \u201cIt still holds a special place in my heart but it\u2019s not very likely.\u201d Ironically, fans are reluctant to buy into the idea because the original, produced by Studio Bones, is so distinct visually. \u201d I don\u2019t think any current studio can do justice to Soul Eater. The animation was so unique and the consistent top-notch quality,\u201d says one fan. Another posits that a legacy sequel of sorts would be the better option. \u201cHonestly if they did this I\u2019d prefer them to do what Blue Exorcist and Black Butler did and just pretend the non-canon stuff didn\u2019t happen and continue on from where it diverged,\u201d says another comment. \u201cI know it would make things confusing for newcomers, but I really can\u2019t see a full remake being anything other than largely inferior.\u201d That\u2019s a creative option, and one that\u2019s been employed by the aforementioned, as well as Bleach, which returned with Thousand-Year Blood War in 2022, a decade after the anime otherwise concluded. In that light, 16 years or so for Soul Eater wouldn\u2019t be so bad. If you want to keep things on the morbid side, check out our list of the best body horror anime.
